Death of Chief j Justice Me. cur,

Hon. Ulysses Mercur, Chief Justice o
the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
died at 91S o'clock on Monday morning
at the residence of his son, James w
Mercur, at Wallingford. Deceased was
resident OF Towanda, Pa, but while the
Suprem me Court sat in Philadelphia h,
resided with his son at Wallingford. H,
became i'll while attending dinner party
at the house of Rufus L Shapley, Esq
on May 25th last, and with difficult,
reached his sons house, but a square dis
tant, with the assistance o. friends. PLY
sicians were at once summoned, who an
| nounced that he was suffering from pleu
ro-pneumonia.
Since then he had been confined to hi
bed, and on Friday the crisis of the dis
ease was passed and hopes were entertain
| ed of his recovery. At 8 O'Clock on Mon
day morning his son, Dr.John D. Mercur
and Dr. f. RI. Getchell, saw him and hi
symptoms we're then so far iavorabl,
| that DR.. Getchell assured the family, 1T Il

though he was not out of danger. Undel
this favorable report he was lett In thu

ment from the hands of his son at 10 a
| M, when q sudden change in his condi
tion became noticeab e. His wife wal

was assisted from the room, and at 9.3(
O'Clock he died, In the presence alone ol
his son, Rodney A. Mercur, and his nurse
His last moments of life were appar rently
free from pain, and, 1t was said, he pass

EloctrI0 MOTIVE Power.

Neither franklin, when he caught the
lightning, or Morse, when he chained it,
for the purpose of conveying ma ne
thoughts from one part of the country to
another could have had any idea of the
many useful purposts to which II, In the
form of electricity, would be applied.
Edison in his laboratory was for time
lost to the wor d, but af er months of re :
tirement his electric light dashed forth,
as the result of his labors, and pcw from
being a novelty and luxury 1t has become
. necessity. These achievements were
indeed wonderful, but now they are sup
erseded by others, and electricity bids
fair to soon prove formidable rival to
steam as Motive power. The Whining
ton Electric Company, whose works are
at Fifta and Tatnall streets, are now in
|troducing small motors into houses and
stores, for running sewing machines, fans
and othe- light machinery. They have
placed the fist fan in the Oriole shaving
saloon, No. 3 East Third street, and it IL
certainly an ingenious piece of machin-
Iery. THere are four fans, working on a
| shaft which descends perpendicular from
| the ceiling the largest Of these fans being
over three feet in length, and about s
inches wide. Immediately below them
are pair OF ordinary fans, working inde-
pendently OF the larger ones, and run
ming slower or faster as may be desired
The motor, which is almost small enough
to be put in an overcoat pocket, stands
In one corner, and receives its power
from the dynamos, which supply the elec-
tric light. The speed, which can be in
creased to $500 revolutions minute, Ii
regulated by means of lever, fitted on a
key board, and the fans are no sooner
start, d than there is a perceptiblc change
In the temperature These fans can be
introduced In private houses as well as
| stores, and by their nse it will be possible
to keep cool aud enjoy good night'l
rest, even during the iorrid weather o
july and August The Electric Com
pany have furnished number OF motor.
for this city, but the fan at the Oriole II
| frat erected Lere.

From wilmington to Eism.

While Jour correspondent was taking
. ride on the Concord pike on Sunday
afternoon 10 company with q friend,
bis attention was attracted to q little
girl, apparently lost. She was sweet
little baby, for she was only years
|old, and very small for her age. In her
little fingers she held q piece Of bread,
seemingly comfortable and happy. Her
beautiful faxen hair laid in long and
careless streams down her tiny shOul-
ders. There was big Newfoundland
dog a. her side, the only companion
and friend. She had been begging in
her wanderings down the pike.
There was something pathetic in that
little ohlld's blue eyes, IS she looked up
into mine, and smiled, 1t was childish
that came from that little darling, as
she stood patting the large dog ON the
back.
We Alighted from the carriapo and
picked her up, placed her ON the seat,
and talked to her. She oou Id barely
speak In her childish way, but pointed
toward Elan at the end of the pike. We
wondered what to do, and drove along
probable mile; stopped and inquired
II any one had lost child.
| The big dog followed the carriage.
and stopped when westopped. The dog
knew the woman We addressed our re-
marks to, and wAggcd his tail; and
went on at terrible rate. Yes, sir
Mrs. Holms down in that little house
on the road leading to 'Smith's Corn.
Iers," which Is o cross road from the
pike Here she comes (Exclatmed

. out Of breath, claimed the child and
D kissed 1t, and also thanked us for heI
Ipreclous jewel. This was between
and 8 O'Clock Sunday afternoon.
